Set on the site of the Battle of Lansdown, just a short distance north of the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, Battlefields House is a stunning example of architect Charles Harcourt Masters’ work, the man responsible for the nearby Dyrham Park grounds. Built in 1738 on the site of Lilliput Castle, which was designed by John Wood the Elder, this Grade II listed villa and its outbuildings were divided into separate dwellings in the late 1970s. Occupying the first floor, this elegant two-bedroom apartment, one of eight in the main house, boasts wonderful proportions, period features, and views to the east, south, and west. Located in the south Cotswolds and sitting in almost four acres of verdant gardens and woodland with vistas towards the Severn Estuary and the Brecon Beacons, this stunning home also has excellent links to Bristol, the M4 motorway, and train travel to the capital. The current owners have lived here for twelve years and say, ‘we will miss everything about living here – from the history, impressive building, and glorious grounds to the large windows that let in so much light and the fantastic sunsets.’ They add, ‘sitting out on the lawn with friends and neighbours on a balmy evening, watching the sun go down, drinking wine, and chatting makes for a very happy and tranquil scene.’ Extensive lawns of almost an acre make up just part of the well-maintained communal grounds, while notable trees – giant sequoia, copper beech, lime, sycamore, and oak – create a small arboretum. ‘The grounds are impressive and host a range of wildlife, including jays, woodpeckers, pheasants, and tawny owls. We also see the occasional roe deer.’

‘We love the Gothic Regency style with the castle like appearance, making it a very unique place to live.’

‘We enjoy morning breakfast by the east-facing oriel window, then watching the summer sun set over the distant Welsh mountains from the bedroom window, followed by the twinkling lights of North Bristol below.’

‘The community is friendly and supportive, with residents helping each other, staying connected through a WhatsApp group, and hosting social events, yet respecting privacy. It’s a very safe and welcoming environment.’

‘Battlefields House is within easy reach of Dyrham Park, well-regarded schools, and quality golf courses. Bath Spa station, Lansdown Park & Ride, and M4 J18 are also easily accessible, making travel very convenient.’

‘The area has a wealth of scenic Cotswold walks and excellent dining options in and around Bath.’

En-suite guest room available on request at a nominal fee
